Whats Our Goal??
Whats Our Goal??
Our main goal in training is to help our recruits gain the skills they need to be successful with their new handler. This includes not only good manners, but also an higher level of obedience. Once with their handler, the teams are required to pass the Canine Good Citizen Test, and the Public Access Test. Using the following test evalauation forms will help give you as their pre placement Recruit Raiser some goals to work towards with you Recruit!
